How-To: Get a Sleek Yet Soft Bun Like Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian has two go-to hairstyles: either out and wavy or pulled back tightly in a high bun or ponytail. Yesterday she was spotted with the latter style while out shopping and getting a manicure in New York, but we noticed that her bun wasn’t as tight and polished as we’ve seen it on the red carpet. Here’s how you can also get Kim’s ’do:

STEP 1: This style will be easier to do with slightly dirty hair. If your hair feels too clean and slippery, spray your roots with some dry shampoo.

STEP 2: To achieve the same smoothness and tightness of Kim’s bun, you’ll need to use a brush to pull it back into a high ponytail (your fingers won’t give the same effect).

STEP 3: Give your ponytail some texture with KMS California Hairplay Sea Salt Spray ($36.95). Then softly twist your ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie like you would a normal bun. It doesn’t need to be tight — the point of this look is to give the bun a soft, fluffy look.

STEP 4: Secure your bun with bobby pins. Spray with a hairspray like KMS Hairstay Medium Hold Hairspray ($19.50) to finish and hold the look.
